Card machines were down at Coles supermarkets across the country, leaving Friday afternoon shoppers unable to pay at the checkout. 'Just stopped at Coles people out front saying all Coles stores in Australia closed due to it issues. A spokesperson for the supermarket giant told Daily Mail Australia, Coles supermarkets temporarily closed due to a technical issue with processing payments. 'Halfway through a shop and we are told that cash registers at all Coles stores are not working due to IT issues,' a woman posted to Twitter. 'Coles supermarkets nationally have reopened for trade after a technical issue with our point of sale system meant we were briefly unable to process transactions this afternoon,' a Coles spokesperson said.
